Chapter 72
Zhan Qingcheng ordered people to buy some incense and paper money, and took Su Fengjin to the mass grave in the heavy rain overnight, and returned home after tossing around until midnight.

Su Fengjin had no choice but to rest in the side room of the main house.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Zhan Qingcheng went to Jiangnan Pingzhou to deal with the flood, and Su Fengjin couldn't wait to go back to the East House.Chunya handed her a towel to wipe her face, and said with a sneer, "You don't want to see how the east room is flooded. If you go, you will lie on the boat and sleep! You will act if you see the sky." some."

Su Fengjin cleansed her face, and Wanzhu waited for her to change her clothes. She pouted and said sullenly: "Miss, you don't know that when I went to Pingzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, I took the grandma of Westinghouse with me. People say that the relationship between Master and Westinghouse is deep, bah, you are really blind, can't you see it, Master is true love for my lady, miss, you should be tighter, or when Lan Xin comes back, she will be pregnant If there is another child in the house, the young lady will have a hard time."

Chunya rolled up the blackout curtain, and the sun jumped up from the outside, falling on Chunya's blurred face: "Hmph, those two concubines are coming back these few days, and those two are not to be trifled with. You'd better let your young lady seek her own blessings."

Thanks to Chunya's crow's mouth, the two concubines came back in the afternoon and stayed in the old lady's courtyard for most of the day, making the old lady laugh loudly, very unhappy.

Su Fengjin stayed in the main house and never went out, and the old lady didn't bother to mention Su Fengjin, so there was no disturbance. That Xia Yu kept messing around all day long, which was annoying.

Su Fengjin sat by the window blankly, the rain curtain was woven into threads behind her, Yiqiu held up an umbrella and ran to look for her, seeing that she was still embroidering, she hurriedly said: "You are leisurely, how are you? Those two The concubine's room didn't embarrass you, did it?"

Su Fengjin laughed: "No."

"Why are you like a soft persimmon? Anyone can bully you. Those two concubines are not easy to provoke. One is the daughter-in-law of the servant of the household department, and the other is the daughter-in-law of the servant of the Ministry of Industry." Girl, those two people were very powerful when they were in Chang'an City, they knew how to be obedient when they saw the sky, and they are not good things behind their backs, you have to be on guard."

Yiqiu has been in Chang'an City for so many years, so she doesn't know what kind of way to go.

Su Fengjin embroidered a purse and handed it to her: "I saw that your purse was a bit old last time, so I embroidered a new one for you. Look, you like it."

"I like it, sister, your handwork is really ingenious. Alas, it is very similar to the embroiderer that the general wears. You embroidered that one too?" Yiqiu played with the purse, only thinking about the fabric. Everything is fine.

"No." Su Fengjin replied coldly, unable to hear any emotion.

"By the way, I've already sent someone to pick up those clothes and embroidery threads. I'll have Anji bring them to you later. Just watch the embroidery and it's done. There's no time limit. This is the deposit, 1000 taels. You get it first." Use it." Yi Qiu took the money and put it on the table, Chun Ya's eyes turned green immediately.

Su Fengjin evaded: "I haven't started embroidering yet, how can I get money."

Yiqiu's heart is dark, it's impossible not to take it, after all Zhan Qingcheng said, as much as Su Fengjin can take, Zhan Qingcheng will give her twice as much!This 1000 tael doubled is 2000 tael.

"It was given by the benefactor, besides, I have already accepted my share, you can keep it, those two concubines..." Yiqiu changed the subject again.

Su Fengjin looked at the 1000 taels, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "I heard that many refugees have come to Chang'an recently, so you can do me a favor and take the 1000 taels to the open space on the west side of the city to set up some tents and buy some porridge. The past, so that those refugees have a place to settle down, the weather is cold now, don't need the wind and cold."

Seeing Yiqiu's hesitant face, Su Fengjin asked anxiously: "1000 taels... is it less?"

You can buy a catty of rice for a few pennies, and 1000 taels...you should be able to buy a lot.Su Fengjin was a little apprehensive. It's not that she has never lived through that poor life, but now that so many people have come to Chang'an, there is a riot in Chang'an city, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to stabilize for a while.

Yiqiu couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not a big problem to last a few days, but the government is already taking care of these things, so you don't have to worry about it, you should keep it by yourself. In this mansion, although you don't go out, you still have some money It's always good to be around."

Aunt Fang went to serve pastries, while Wanzhu and Chunya took advantage of the rain to go to the East Room to collect all the important things.

Chunya walked in front of Wanzhu, seeing no one around, she sneered: "I have given her so many opportunities, she is really stupid, she can't grasp it like this."

Wanzhu glared at her: "What nonsense?"

"I'm the one who is blind, right? Do you really think that any thief would come to the Dongwu, which has no money, and step on the plate? Do you really treat the Dongwu as a treasure? Let me tell you, in this general's mansion, the Dongwu is a treasure." This is the worst place to go, not to mention cold in winter and hot in summer, when it rains heavily, the east house will be flooded..."

The voice gradually faded away, Yiqiu closed the door, sat down opposite Su Fengjin, and said in a low voice: "Actually, we knew about the affair between Qing Ruyu and General Zhan back then. There was an assassin at the banquet in the palace, Qing Ruyu rescued the assassin in a moment of resignation, but was later discovered by Jinshang, this person surnamed Zhan knelt outside for a long time in order to protect Qing Ruyu in heavy snow, and Qing Ruyu was later arrested After a meal, this Zhan begged desperately for help from Doctor Zhang, if he didn't save him, he would die at the door of Doctor Zhang's house..."

Su Fengjin just listened silently, she thought to herself, look, if I knew he was not sincere, I didn't fall into it, but fortunately she didn't fall into it.

Yiqiu saw that her face was not looking well, so she poured a cup of tea for her, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, Zhan is not a good person, you must never trust him, once he is tempted by that kind of person, it is difficult to get back Go, after all, he and the number one scholar were on the same road. The one he loves is a treasure that will be kept in his heart for a long time. Those who don't love can be bullied and used in every possible way. If he loses in the future, it will just be dismissed. It’s just a useless person, how can I feel distressed.”

Su Fengjin suddenly remembered that Yiqiu came here yesterday morning, and she seemed to have had a serious quarrel with Master Zhuangyuan.

The rain outside the window picked up and soaked her clothes, she stretched out her hand to close the window: "What happened to you and the number one scholar? I thought something big happened yesterday."

Yiqiu played with the cup in his hand, with a hazy smile on his face, and calm eyes: "The number one scholar is originally a person who loves fragrances and jades, but what he pities is every incense stick in the world, and every piece of jade in the world is what he pities. Such a person, when it comes to sincerity, is really hateful, but fortunately, he meets mostly people from Fireworks and Willows, and everyone is a veteran in the field of love, and they are very familiar with the rules. "

"Then yesterday..."

"That woman was not a good one at all. She invited herself to enter Baihualou at a young age. She likes to smoke opium and gamble. The reason she pretended to be pregnant was just to extort more money from the number one scholar to pay her back. It’s nothing more than gambling debts to buy opium, the reason why I have this idea is that someone instructed me to perform a play yesterday, and the person behind it was caught.” Yiqiu cupped her face and drank tea, smiling , as if she had become the beautiful but clever and bright girl back then.

"Who would do this to Master Zhuangyuan?" Su Fengjin felt strange, that guy Song Renyi was also a prodigal flower in Chang'an city, how could he make such a big commotion.

"Do you know why there are floods every three to five years in Pingzhou in the south of the Yangtze River?" She took a sip of tea leisurely, squinting her eyes like a tired and lazy kitten, making people feel unspeakably comfortable .

Su Fengjin shook her head, and suddenly felt that Chang'an was like a vast ocean, the water was very deep.

Yiqiu glanced around, leaned closer to her, and said in a low voice: "It turns out that the Ministry of Industry took a lot of money, so the things they made were cut corners, and those that can last for three to five years are not bad. Master Yun Yiyun has been informed of this case, and the emperor will know about it soon, and then the crown prince will have to break some more."

Su Fengjin just felt more and more confused: "I don't understand the court affairs..."

"Your father and elder brother chose the crown prince, but once this matter is exposed, I am afraid that the crown prince's position will be really difficult to protect. I heard that the aunt in charge of the Feng Palace said that he would accept a marriage for His Highness the crown prince. Ruyu...[-]% after this disaster is over, she will be the crown princess."

Su Fengjin tightly held the cup in her hand: "What does that have to do with me? I just want to find a place to rest in peace. Whether it's other grievances or love and hatred, it doesn't matter to me."

Aunt Fang brought some snacks, knocked on the door and walked in, said to Yiqiu with a smile: "These snacks were made the day before yesterday, luckily they are chilled, young lady, try them."

Yiqiu took the plate, tasted two pieces and nodded repeatedly: "Well, it smells like lotus flowers, what is it?"

"It's because I'm free, so I can do whatever I want, as long as you like it." Su Fengjin was afraid that she would choke, so he poured her a cup of tea, and Yiqiu drank more than half of it in Su Fengjin's hand, then wiped his mouth and smiled De: "Sister Su is so good at making cakes, she should be unique in making meals."

Wanzhu and Chunya brought some things over, and put the incense burner and a small embroidery frame that Su Fengjin was still embroidering on the table.

Wanzhu joked: "My lady makes delicious cakes, but cooking may poison someone to death, miss Yiqiu better don't even think about it. I'm afraid that miss Yiqiu will have to ask Imperial Physician Zhang to look at it."

You know, Zhang Jiquan is a well-known genius doctor in Chang'an City, but he has a weird temper and personality, and he never seeks medical treatment with others easily. He is either staying in the Imperial Hospital or staying at his own home to make medicine and weeds. , those fireworks and willow fields, if you ask him, he doesn't know where he is. Many dignitaries in Chang'an City are not reconciled, and they have used all threats and temptations. So since then, very few people have dared to seek medical treatment in Zhang's residence.

Yiqiu ate the pastry, looked at Su Fengjin with worried eyes, saw that she had no expression, and didn't know what was going on in her mind, but felt that the person in front of her looked dull, but it was also hard to guess.
